Sunbury Fox Posted 8 August 2023 Posted 8 August 2023 (edited) Even when Coady is back, we will still need a rapid RCB to play the 3241 effectively; otherwise, we'll be wrecked on the break. If we could find a buyer for Souttar then I'm sure that his replacement will fit that profile. Edited 8 August 2023 by Sunbury Fox 2

LVFox Posted 9 August 2023 Posted 9 August 2023 Could see him joining Rodgers at Celtic now they've got rid of Starfelt. Nowhere near the money we paid for him though

JimJams Posted 10 August 2023 Posted 10 August 2023 Might have a good showing in the champions league..... ...No I didn't keep a straight face typing this.

No one is going to buy him anyway, he’s contracted here until 2028 likewise Kristensen, and can’t imagine either getting a better wage elsewhere. The club has been so amateur with contracts and transfers for years and are paying the price.

The list of clubs that will pay Vestergaad, Souttar, Praet , Daka , Castagne etc.etc. the same as us is vanishingly small. Even if we accept nominal fees for them , few clubs will want to pay them at the risk of upsetting their own salary regimes.

There are clubs which will have them, but we won't clear out the 'unwanted', cos guess what, clubs know they are unwanted. They will hold out to make offers til the last minute to scoop up bargains. It's a buyers market. We do not hold the cards. We can try to hold our nerve, but we're going to need to take a loss on a fair few of them, and probably end up supplementing loan wages on a couple.
Claudio Fannieri Posted 10 August 2023 Posted 10 August 2023 Decent loan fee (£3m) and cover his wage 100% is not a bad deal for us this season and hope this time next season we are offered £10-12m for him, should work from an FFP perspective. if we can get a deal like that agreed probably allows us to then bring in a replacement centre back on loan for instance THB.
Popular Post Sampson Posted 10 August 2023 Popular Post Posted 10 August 2023 £15mil is and always was such a ridiculous fee for a player who'd had one semi-good season in a relegation battling Championship side and then spent a year out injured. 6
BenTheFox Posted 10 August 2023 Posted 10 August 2023 When we went down I thought he would be integral in our attempt to come back up. Obviously, our manager doesn't fancy him. He's a decent defender and will do well elsewhere. I am actually quite happy hat we have a manager that is so clear on how he wants to play that he can make these decisions.

Maybe Vesty is happy to be just that. 1
